Jenny Williams LCSW, Certified Brainspotting Therapist

As a licensed therapist and coach, I specialize in the areas of stress, anxiety and trauma activation, helping high-achieving creatives and entrepreneurs to clear blocks interfering with personal well-being and career performance, to enhance their relationships, and to expand their creative potential. My orientation is psychodynamic, and I work primarily from what's known as a relational and attachment-oriented perspective. Depending on your interest, we may combine talk therapy with research-based mind-body practices including Brainspotting, EMDR, and mindfulness to support trauma recovery and enhance creativity and performance. I have an extensive background in somatic therapies, meditation and mindful awareness, and am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), cutting edge therapies that help my clients heal and transform trauma and painful past experiences in order to more fruitfully pursue their personal and creative aspirations.

I was inspired to become a therapist after experiencing the transformational power of conscious, compassionate self-observation via my own training in mindfulness and meditation. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist I trained in acting and the dramatic arts in the UK, and worked as a writer, director and performer in both London and New York. I continue to be passionate about artistic expression, and love working with those who are too. As a Brit who has lived and worked in the US for more than 16 years, I bring a unique international perspective to my work. I am sensitive to the complexities of cross-cultural living, and enjoy exploring issues of acculturation, identity and all aspects of migration (including the overall experience of not-being-at-home). My approach to healing: - Draws from art and science - Honors the intrinsic connection between mind and body  - Is lgbtq+ affirmative and culturally sensitive - Supports mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual wellness
